The charming, stunning and rich landscapes of the Dordogne region and its 'route des vins' are an amazing location in which to spend a relaxed weekend or longer holidays with family and friends. There are activities for every age and every taste: golfing, tennis, swimming, horseback riding, canoeing and fishing in the Dordogne river, biking etc.

Château les Merles is situated in this beautiful region at only 10 minutes drive from Bergerac; a town of historical interest that offers different weekly markets (biological products, flowers, plants, vegetables, foie-gras and truffles, etc) and is well worth a visit.

Perigueux, the capital of Dordogne, with its beautiful Saint-Front Cathedral, le quartier du Puy-Saint-Front, le Musée de Périgord and comprehensive shopping facilities, is only a 30 minute drive from the Château.
